DA 'targeted' by ANC

Cape Town - Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille on Monday vowed to take her fight against the Erasmus Commission to the Constitutional Court.
Addressing the Cape Town Press Club, she said the commission was an "illegal and unconstitutional hit squad" set up by the ANC to wrest control of Cape Town from the DA.
She took a swipe at commission chairperson, Judge Nathan Erasmus, saying he had allowed himself to be abused by the ANC.
Zille said the DA had "never, at any time" given anybody instructions to conduct illegal surveillance.
The Erasmus Commission was set up by Western Cape Premier Ebrahim Rasool to investigate the City of Cape Town's probe into controversial councillor Badih Chaaban.
